Odmiany terytorialne i społeczne współczesnego języka polskiego na Ukrainie

Abstract

Territorial and Societal Variants of Contemporary Polish in UkraineThe article presents various types of differentiation in contemporary Polish language in Ukraine. It focuses primarily on 1) territorial factors – dispersion over a large area and the consequent diversification of political and cultural conditions, as well as influence from different languages and Ukrainian dialects, 2) societal factors – regional (cultural) Polish of former south-eastern Kresy in urban and rural centres, and the stratification of rural Polish into separate dialects of the peasantry and nobility, 3) historical factors – the influence that the history of Polish settlement in the region exerted on the shape of local Polish dialects. Referring to her own, 25-year long experience in studying Polish in Ukraine, and also to the literature on this topic, this author verifies previous views on the territorial and societal variations of the Polish language in Ukraine and revises the related interpretations of linguistic facts (e.g. the origin of the dental ł in Polish dialects in Ukraine).
